Connectors not automatically rerouted
We are developing a page splitter, splitting a locng visio drawing into
several pages. When splitting the drawing we need to cut connectors in two and draw one half on one page and the other half on the next page. When copying and pasting a connector it is automatically rerouted in the new page, but we need to paste the connector without rerouting it. Is it possible to disable the rerouting when we paste the new connector? The connector's geometries which are painted on the next page is removed from the connector at the first page (and vice versa). |

Two thoughts:
1. Are you adding Off Page Reference shapes at the cut ends of your connectors? 2. Have you considered simply increasing the page size to a multiple of the paper size? "Anders" wrote in message ...

Connectors not automatically rerouted
Hi!
What is Off Page Reference shapes? I do not understand what you mean. We have a shape to define which are is exported to a page. Shapes within this shapes are are exported to a new page. We do not want a large page, we need several small pages. When we have all shapes within the defining shape we do a copy of those objects and then they are pasted into the new page by a ActivePage.Drop(). "David Parker" wrote: Two thoughts: 1.

Connectors not automatically rerouted
Hi!
Ok, I understand. But the problem we are facing is that we already have all connectors routed. We have a special shape that the user manually edits in order for us to know where the long page should be splitted. When the shapes that are supposed to be pasted onto the new page is copied, some of them are rerouted in before we paste them. We have an idea of setting a value on all shapes that are to be splitted (connectors) and when we paste them we look on the original long page and copy its geometries to the pasted shape. Only geometries (paths) from the page start are copied. This way feels overly complicated and we are wondering if there is a way to not have Visio reroute the copied shape before they are pasted.

With this I think it might be worth looking at the page connector
routing settings, basically, turn everything off in the routing section of the page shapesheet. Then for each connector set the LockCalcWH bit in the shape protections. Then set up the shape's geometry. -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd. Electrical for Visio http://www.electrical.sandrila.co.uk/ On Wed, 27 Aug 2008 02:08:11 -0700, Anders wrote: Hi!
